Chicago Bears Interested In Luring Newly Available Former All-Pro

The Chicago Bears always keep their ears out for potential names who can help make them better. That includes possible trade candidates for the upcoming deadline and free agents looking for new homes. A minor surprise occurred on Thursday when the Tennessee Titans released former All-Pro safety Jamal Adams. The former three-time Pro Bowler was traded there this off-season in hopes of fortifying a weak secondary. However, he has only appeared in three games to this point due to a nagging hip issue. Combine this with the Titans’ rough 1-4 start, and the desire for a fresh start from both sides isn’t shocking.
